Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I just looked at Pinshape... wow, that is scripting gone wild. I'm sure I would piss off a whole bunch of people putting my stuff there. The reason why I was asking about possible ways of improving the reach of posts is that my previous attempt at doing this last year (basically, making a publicly ...

I'm not sure which section in the forums I should put this. So, I'm trying to figure out how to share my STL/OpenSCAD files for all the cosplay props I've 3D printed over the years. There's two parts to the problem: 1. What is a good way to host a site as a repository of these files, or if there is ...

I would like to give an update. After tightening the nozzle slightly, I no longer have this issue. I guess I should be a bit more brave in tightening things. :D Thanks for letting us know how you fixed it, it is a good one to remember. I think it would be helpful if the instructions can list a ...

You might want to model a raft just underneath the supports (not necessarily underneath the actual piece themselves). I had to deal with a similar problem, in this case approximately 9 hours into a print, when the support moved just enough that it caused backpressure problems and a nozzle clog ...

No, I used a new nozzle (namely, the one that came with the new hotend).

Okay, I'm tightening it and see if that helps. The brownish goop usually ends up a couple of hours into a print, so I should know pretty soon if that helps.

Nope, the ABS was white, and I purge at 230C with PLA to get it out of the nozzle.

A couple of weeks ago, I've had to replace my hot end due to a thermistor "accident". Now, this hot end appears to leak black molten plastic onto my prints when I print with PLA. It does not happen with ABS (but only like 5% of my printing is with ABS, it may not be a significant sample). My printer ...

Sounds like you need one of those Brother Dream Frames :) [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaIj14Kn1EM[/youtube] That's a frame for a longarm quilting sewing machine. You can get variants of these (and their associated longarm sewing machine) that have "CNC quilting" abilities (the one that ...

I'd be interested myself to see what you come up with, as someone who owns a really expensive sewing/embroidery machine (I have one of those machines that has the optional embroidery module). I'm actually at the point where I'm actually seriously considering plunking down $$$$ for one of the ...

I was wondering, as a curiosity, whether it is possible to run the MatterSlice slicer that is part of MatterControl with Repetier-Host. (Long story short, I've got a few parts that only slice correctly with MatterSlice, and I've been using Repetier-Host ever since abandoning the use of the ...

Christmas Cakes! Hahah she was my starter ship, but I've never seen a cosplay of her! I think it's really cool that you made the equipment and weapons. Yeah, I kind of got sick seeing all the Shimakazes/Amatsukazes/Fubuki-class/Yuudachis/Akagis and Kagas that I wanted to do something different (and ...

Yup, it was Samidare, although I designed the costume so I can quickly convert it to become Suzukaze if I wanted. I did the design work for the gun based on the art and some WWII-era blueprints that I dug up, and a friend of mine did the modeling for the torpedo launcher; I took his model and did a ...

Nope. It was from one of the Shiratsuyu-class destroyers. (Hint, it's not any of the ones with the black uniforms.)

Yup!

The main reason why I bought the printer was to print out hand-held Japanese WWII-era naval cannons and torpedo launcher backpacks for this one costume. I'm not exactly a stranger to 3D printing before this, but coming from a MakerBot (where they dumb things down) was quite a shock, as I had to get ...

Oh, I mostly do anime and Japanese game costumes. I basically bought the Rostock because I was trying to make things bigger than my MakerBot could do.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow of what I've made with the printer so far.

Hello, everyone!

I'm a cosplayer who basically bought a Rostock Max just for the purpose of one costume. It's a pleasure to meet you all.
